Last Updated: 2026-10-14

This Privacy Policy explains how CodeSpeedTest ("we", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the site. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy laws.

Consent Management

We use Google's certified Consent Management Platform ("Funding Choices") together with Google's Consent Mode to ensure compliance with privacy regulations:

• For users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland: We display a consent banner, before any non-essential cookie is set, with options to accept, reject, or manage cookie preferences
• Default state: Until you make a choice, ad and analytics storage default to "denied" in these regions (Google Consent Mode v2)
• Consent choices: You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences
• Withdrawal of consent: You can change your consent choices at any time by reopening the consent banner (usually available via a link in the site footer), clearing your browser data, or contacting us
• Consent storage: Your preferences are stored locally in your browser for up to one year
• Outside the EEA, UK, and Switzerland: No consent banner is required or shown, in line with applicable regulations, though our Advertising section below still explains how to opt out of personalized ads
